Colin Marschall Poet Free verse

~watching You Fall~

I watched you slink
lower into numbing coat,
where warmth just boils
away any residue of respite,

saw how your smile
developed MD,
drooping like torn flesh,

and no matter how often
those three words
nuzzled, you still held
that shroud so tight;

are you dying my twin?

Your eyes seem to have found
a place where nobody goes,
somewhere stuck in a moment
halfway between us,
and silence mutes me
with all the things unsaid

while you wrap yourself
in tainted conclusions.
